Still having issues with my voice. I'm not sure if I wanna detransition if i have to live having a male voice, specially living in a very gendered country where i'll probably just come across as a trans guy, so how's it going for you? Does it get better?
(excuse the train noises)
Not off testosterone yet, im still managing to talk to my doctor about it since it took a long time for me to realise i wanted to detransition. I've been on T for 7 years, im 21 now.
I haven't started voice lessons either, I tried following a video once and didn't manage to get any results so I got discouraged.
I just wanted to know if I have any chance at sounding like a woman again. My voice does sound different in spanish (native language), and a tiny bit more manly when relaxed. I'm quite scared about sounding like a gay guy for the rest of my life, because I don't want to get surgery since im afraid i'd lose my ability to sing.
I'd appreciate realistic replies, thanks.
Im 21, FtM. I've been on testosterone for aprox 7 years, since i was 14. Started on a low dose but was on a full dose at 15. Im currently questioning if I should detransition or not, but I have so many doubts. Will probably post again with more info about my situation but I'm just having a rough time rn.
I guess there's not much to do about my voice, it's not super deep but 100% male passing (7 years can do a lot). I've never had people question my gender, I've always passed as male (which has been good up until now lol).
This is kind of the only thing that's been stopping me from detransitioning already, to be honest. Im afraid i'll pass more like a trans girl than a cis girl again, and i'm quite afraid of how society will treat me as a girl with a man's voice, and the possible violence i can be a target to. So if anyone has any advice on this, i'd appreciate it.
I've read that if you've taken hrt on your first puberty, it's quite hard to go back. Is it true tho? I haven't seen many people who've had an experience similar to mine, starting so young. I have many doubts about how my body will be able to change and look like a woman's body again.
Even tho I started at 14, i had an early puberty, my body started developing at 9 (when i had my first period and started growing boobs) so maybe this is somehow beneficial to my case and i have more chances to get a femenine appearance again? I've had top surgery too, but it's not too relevant to me to have boobs again. I just really wish i could get my waist and my hips back. I had a nice body but i was too scared of it.
It would be very helpful if someone has gone through something similar to me and could explain their experience in depth, because this situation is making me really distressed and don't know what to do really.
I find it really hard to play the high register of the bass, from the 12th fret and on. My fingers hurt a lot and my pinky barely reaches the lowest strings. So, is there any finger exercises (apart from normal playing) to get better at playing that part of the fretboard?
